i've been an active supporter of planned parenthood for a couple of years, but after seeing images of people, many of them around my age and younger, gleefully wielding "shut down planned parenthood" signs at the march for life a couple of weeks ago, i want to be able to give more than my regular monthly contribution. no matter which side of the argument you're on, i don't think there's anything caring or good about loudly demanding the end of an organization that provides information, healthcare and support to men and women who often have nowhere else to turn.

all proceeds from my print "bath nude" will now be passed on to this important organization. thank you so much to those of you who already contributed and left messages of support with your order. for someone who uses social media to share very neutral content, it feels a little scary to speak up on controversial topics, but i've been very inspired by the voices that have come out from behind all of the beautiful artwork in the past weeks. "i am more than my pretty pictures," says lisa congdon in a personal essay on her blog, and i totally second that.
